I know it has been annoying a couple of people other than me, so now that I've learned how to make it work I'll share the knowledge here.
tl;dr: Star the repositories. No, seriously. (And yes, you need to star each extension repo separately.)
(Is there a place on mw.org to put this tidbit on?)

Hi Bartosz
In order to link your commits to your GitHub account, you need to have some association with the repository other than authoring the commit. Usually, having push access gives you that connection. In this case, you don't have push permission, so we don't link you to the commit.
The easy solution here is for you to star the repository. If you star it - along with the other repositories that are giving you this problem - we'll see that you're connected to the repository and you'll get contribution credit for those commits.
Cheers
Brian

We just released a new version of Research:FAQ on Meta [1], significantly
expanded and updated, to make our processes at WMF more transparent and to
meet an explicit FDC request to clarify the role and responsibilities of
individual teams involved in research across the organization.
The previous version – written from the perspective of the (now inactive)
Research:Committee, and mostly obsolete since the release of WMF's open
access policy [2] – can still be found here [3].
Comments and bold edits to the new version of the document are welcome. For
any question or concern, you can drop me a line or ping my username on-wiki.
Thanks,
Dario

I'm not familiar with bluejeans and maybe have missed a transition
because I wasn't paying enough attention. is this some kind of
experiment? have all meetings transitioned to this service?
anyway, my immediate question at the moment is how do you join without
sharing your microphone and camera?
am I correct thinking that this is an entirely proprietary stack
that's neither gratis nor libre and has no on-premise (not cloud)
hosting option? are we paying for this?

Hello cloud-vps users!
It's time for our annual cleanup of unused projects and resources. Every
year or so the Cloud Services team tries to identify and clean up unused
projects and VMs. We do this via an opt-in process: anyone can mark a
project as 'in use,' and that project will be preserved for another year.
I've created a wiki page that lists all existing projects, here:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Cloud_VPS_2022_Purge
If you are a VPS user, please visit that page and mark any projects that
you use as {{Used}}. Note that it's not necessary for you to be a
project admin to mark something -- if you know that you're currently
using a resource and want to keep using it, go ahead and mark it
accordingly. If you /are/ a project admin, please take a moment to mark
which VMs are or aren't used in your projects.
When February arrives, I will shut down and begin the process of
reclaiming resources from unused projects.
If you think you use a VPS project but aren't sure which, I encourage
you to poke around on https://tools.wmflabs.org/openstack-browser/ to
see what looks familiar. Worst case, just email
cloud(a)lists.wikimedia.org with a description of your use case and we'll
sort it out there.
Exclusive toolforge users are free to ignore this email.
Thank you!

Hello,
can someone to update list https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P10500 which
contains repositories which haven't mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer.
I found in list that much repositories are empty, and repositories which
aren't available on Gerrit.
So, can someone please update this list of repositories (in
mediawiki/extensions) which haven't mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer, but at
least, contains one PHP file. or to provide me command with which I can
update list when I want, so I don't need to request it every time.
Best regards,
Zoran.
P. S.: Happy weekend! :)
Hi everyone,
I want to notify you that I have, on behalf of the WikiTeq company, made a
task https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T298277 for requesting repository
ownership for the Lingo extension.
In case that you have any kind of questions, please let me know. :)
Best regards,
Zoran
Hello all,
As you may have heard, the Wikimedia Hackathon
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023> is back in person
on May 19-21 in Athens, Greece. We are now opening the registration form
that also includes an optional scholarship application form open until
January 14th.
Registration is required to attend the onsite Wikimedia Hackathon in
Athens. The registration form remains open until we reach the capacity of
the venue (around 220 people). The event is free of charge - participants
are expected to book their travel arrangements individually, unless they
are granted a scholarship.
You can register here by getting yourself a (free) ticket for the hackathon!
<https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/wmhack2023/> (see also the detailed
instructions

In order to support the technical community and participants from diverse
backgrounds, the Wikimedia Foundation provides scholarships that cover
travel and accommodation for a selected number of technical contributors.
The application form is part of the registration process, and is open
until January
14th. You can find more information about the scholarship process,
committee and criteria on the related page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Participate#Scholar…>

The registration and scholarship application form runs with Pretix, an open
source third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For
more information on privacy and data-handling, see the privacy statement
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal:Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023_regist…>

and the other channels listed here
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Connect> are good
places to get started!

scholarship application, feel free to reach out to the organization team on
